What’s inside

Eight sections, in the order you need them

Work through it from the beginning. Each section builds on the one before, taking you from the practical details and strategic thinking through to creative direction, production and approval.

  1. Project snapshot

    Project name, budget range, target launch date and key milestones.

  2. Strategic direction

    The business objective, what the video needs to achieve, how you’ll measure success and who it’s for.

  3. Project context

    The wider campaign or priority it supports, and what viewers should think, feel or do afterwards.

  4. Message & brand

    Your headline message, the points that back it up, and how the video should sound and feel.

  5. Videos, formats & channels

    The content you need, where each piece will be used, target lengths and any cutdowns or captions.

  6. Creative preferences

    Reference videos, and what you like or dislike about each one.

  7. Content & production

    Existing assets, who might appear on camera, locations and anything else your partner needs to know.

  8. Stakeholders, approvals & delivery

    Who’s involved, who pulls feedback together and who has final approval.

From the template

Start with th.e business. Then brief the video.

A strong video brief does more than describe what you want to make. It gives your team and creative partners a shared understanding of the business objective, audience, message and action behind the project. That clarity leads to better ideas, more useful feedback and fewer costly changes later.
